Favourite all time Roosters team

[Vasco]

Thought I'd make up a team of my favourite all time Roosters. Feel free to add your own suggestions...

1. Andrew Walker - Could do anything on the field. Such a gifted player.
2. Steve Morris - Was awesome in 87.
3. Richie Barnett - Wouldn't it be nice to have him in the centres now!
4. Peter Clarke - Knew how to find the stripe.
5. Matt Sing - Great finisher. Wish we kept him.
6. Freddy - Feel privliedged to have seen him play live. Genius.
7. Adriam Lam - Only Cliff Lyons was a better exponent of the short ball.
13. David Trewhella - One of the few shining lights during the late 80s.
12. Luke Ricketson - Club legend. Always played the full 80mins.
11. Adrian Morley - Hard as nails. True enforcer.
10. Terry Hermansson - Gave us great go forward.
9. Wayne Marshall - Dynamic from dummy half. Tough bugger.
8. Craig Salvatori - Loved watching him run out of the tunnel. Bled RW&B.

Res: Luke Phillips, John Tobin, Tony Melrose & Hugh McGahan


Easts to win.

1. Fairfax - ball player, bomb diffuser, chip and chase before Phil Blake, Wayne Chisholm, Terry Lamb and Cliff Lyons even knew what a footy looked like.

2. Mini - one club legend.

3. John Brass - best hands Ive seen. good goal kicker too. It was alwys between him and Simms for the honours.

4. Mark Harris - Ime yet to see a back that was as devestating as a forward, but faster than anything youve seen. Inglis with another 20 kilos. My childhood hero, the reason I played league.

5. John Ferguson - Chicka knew how to score tries, a tonne of pace, he'd be in his 50s now and still beat our current backline in a foot race. Special mention to Brett Mullins who in 2002 made our no name backline look and play like internationals.

6. Fittler - I havent seen a better 5/8 at all levels - Lewis included.

7. Kevin Hastings - There will never be another.

8. Cusack - The Yak was a key player during our successful years this decade. no frills, honest club man.

9. Bonetti - See Cusack. Hardest worker on the field and on the farm.

10. Beetson - The Greatest forward of all time.

11. Morley - The toughest forward in a generation.

12. Fitz - playing 2 generations after he was meant to. But still doing good.

13. Ricko - Every team needs a pretty boy. One club legend.

14. Bunny reilly - The Original Axe. Best defender Ive seen for 30 years.
15. Crocker - passionate rooster.
16. Matt Sing - Great speedster and always tried.
17. Royce Ayliffe - Never took a backward step. Proud Rooster.

Morley is there. Can't fit em all!

[The Brain]

Mini- best ives seen
bill mullins -did plenty
Mark Harris-Legend record speaks for itself
john brass - Good all rounder and safe
brett mullins - his one season was spectacular from the halfway mark and onwards made Byrne look like a champ and Heggs
brad fittler/Bob Fulton -Shiitler- Bozo for me is the best 5/8th ive seen around
kevin Junee- dumb shitt when he chose to leave clubs but was brilliant
Ron Coote- best lock Ive seen
Craig Fitzy-Perfect balance for this team
Arthur beetson- all time greatest influence on my gut
John Lang- His one season was one of the best Ive ever seen from a player -he was unreal
Adrian Morely-Will probably go down next to Arty as my all time fave player and bloke.

Benchies Luke Ricko ,Hastings ,Crocker and Royce Ayliffe

Anyone that smokes winfield red at half time, then comes out in the second half and outruns anyone on the field is a hero of mine.

Actually.....I'm gonna start a thread and try to construct a team of first grade smokers (no... Ian Roberts wont be in the smokers, I'm refering to ciggie smokers only).

Roberts will be in the 'pokers' team. Could we get a full team? Probably in the GayFL.
